Contact and opening hours
STF Vakkotavare is a cabin on the Kungsleden trail between Nikkaluokta and Saltoluokta. Read more about this section of the trail at www.swedishtouristassociation.com/trails/kungsl...
Gällivare is connected by daily train with Stockholm and other cities. It is a good idea to book train and bus travel in advance on the same Resplus ticket. If you want to book only the bus journey, you can do so at www.roadtoritsem.com/
Länstrafiken in Norrbotten no longer services the route between Gällivare and Ritsem.
